KEY TAKEAWAYS
China’s traditional IDC market reached RMB 158.3 billion in 2024 with 8.7% year-on-year growth, rebounding from slow growth in 2023.AI computing and internet enterprises’ large-scale purchases push market recovery, with 14.9% CAGR expected by 2029.The industry will enter a new expansion cycle driven by sustained generative AI workload growth.
Total operational IDC cabinets hit 2.854 million units in 2024, rising only 5.5% year-on-year with slower supply expansion.Strict energy consumption limits push operators to optimize stock resources rather than blindly build new racks.Liquid cooling and high-density transformation become mainstream upgrades for existing data centers.
Total traditional IDC demand reached 1.63 million cabinets in 2024, mainly from internet and data-heavy industrial clients.Internet firms plan 3GW additional AI capacity within the next 3–5 years for large model training.Digital transformation of finance, government and manufacturing creates stable supplementary demand.
China’s intelligent computing capacity hit 1450 EFlops in 2024, surging 66.7% year-on-year.First-tier city clusters account for 56.3% of AIDC projects, while western hubs host super-large compute parks.AI training & inference demand will keep growing rapidly with a predicted 41.2% CAGR in three years.
The ten national hubs owned 446,000 operational cabinets by the end of 2024, split evenly between east and west clusters. Zhangjiakou, Horinger and Gui’an hubs deliver the fastest capacity growth thanks to low-cost energy.Cross-region resource scheduling gradually forms a nationwide unified computing network.
East-west coordination accelerates: eastern hubs upgrade stock, western areas undertake large AI clusters. PUE standards tighten nationwide, pushing renewable energy and liquid cooling green transformation.AIDC high-density architecture replaces traditional racks to support full-cycle AI training & inference.
